Ezekiel and I went to Erewhon two days ago where Dr. Brian Clement from the Hippocrates Institute gave an inspiring talk. The Hippocrates Institute (founded by Dr. Ann Wigmore) has cured thousands of seriously diseased people through their raw vegan healing program.

Dr. Clement exclaimed that the top 3 foods are:

1) Algae from Klamath Lake
2) Sea Vegetables
3) Sprouts/ Grasses

He spoke at length about how we've transferred all of our cooked food addictions to our raw food diet, especially when it comes to fats and sugars, condensed foods etc. This is a logical progression and transition. But what is the next stage? Do we really get all the energy we have from the foods we eat?

I have been facing this lately as well. I recently finished a 21-day water and juice fast and during the fast was faced with all of my food addictions. The question that kept coming up was: why do I eat? The answer was: I eat when I'm hungry, I eat when I'm not hungry, I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I'm excited, I eat when I'm bored, I eat when I feel something, I eat when I feel nothing. Basically, we eat as a habit, an emotional response to anything. We eat far beyond the nutritional needs of the body.

I've been 95% raw for almost six months now, and I am starting to get the feeling that the next level up, since I am definitely interested in spiritual purification, is to purify my diet using the above top 3 foods, to eat less, eat slower and more consciously, and fast more often.

I know this type of raw diet is not for everyone, but am interested to know if there's anyone else in the same boat?

Ever vibrating higher and higher... Namasté!
